PLANTER HARDWARE INSTALLATION (13.1)
LOWER CLEVIS MOUNT (13.1a)
A lower clevis mount will be included in the Reflex kit.
There are three different mounts available, dependent on
the planter configuration.
NOTE: Some rows may have FACTORY INSTALLED
JD PROX SWITCH ASSEMBLIES in the same
location as the Reflex switch. In this case, the tab on
the mount plate can be bent in the opposite direction
to be installed on the left hand side of the row unit.
PRO-SHAFT PLANTERS will receive a threaded stud
(PN 103094) to provide clearance for the pro-shaft. It
will replace the bolt/bushing on the lower clevis mount
near the pro-shaft. Lower cradle will be a weldment to
provide clearance for pro-shaft. ( PN 201102).
LONG PARALLEL LINK PLANTERS will receive the
standard hardware, but will configure it as shown
below. It is important to bolt through the two front
bushing holes in the lower clevis mount.
UPPER CLEVIS MOUNT (13.1b)
Use original hardware
from previous
downforce mount to
install upper clevis
mount as shown.
STRAIN GAUGE (13.1c)
Remove the factory installed depth adjust assembly by
removing the snap ring, pulling the pin, and dropping the
assembly through the bottom of the shank casting behind
the openers. Removing one of the gauge wheel arms
makes this process simpler.
•
Route strain gauge cable along casting to
prevent any wear or pinch points.
•
Make sure rocker (mustache) is above
gauge wheel arms, not stuck below or
inside casting.
NOTE: WHEN INSTALLING ACTUATOR, INSERT
UPPER CLEVIS PIN FROM THE RIGHT
HAND SIDE SO COTTER PIN DOES NOT
CONTACT HARNESS CABLES.
TIP: INSTALL PROX
SWITCH PLATE AT SAME
TIME AS LOWER CLEVIS
MOUNT
Remove Pin to
Replace Depth
Adjust assembly
IMPORTANT:
Utilize the two front holes
in the casting, NOT the rear
open radius!
Use the two lower holes in
the switch mount plate to
secure to the casting as
shown.
